  1. Made this bread yesterday and I have to say I love this recipe! Will be my go to banana bread from now on. Baked up beautifully in a bundt pan. The only changes I made were to reduce the oil by 1/4 cup and used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar because I didn't have enough white.
     
  2. This was such an easy recipie. My hubby went crazy for it. I had to freeze one of the loaves to make sure we had some for later. I didn't make any changes this time but I might try to reduce the sugar and oil a bit in the future. I would give this a ten if I could!!!
     
  3. This is really a moist bread. I cut one loaf open because I just wasn't sure it was done. Too bad we had to eat it right away lol! I had super black bananas, so there was a great banana flavor. I used 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil instead of 1 cup oil. I reduced the sugar to 2 cups. It didn't seem sweet enough coming out of the oven, but sitting overnight, it became perfect. It is an easy recipe, anytime I don't want to bother with butter, I am using this one!!!
     
  4. Absolutely deliciously. I used milk instead of water--turned out beautifully. I'm keeping this one, for sure!
     
  5. An easy and forgiving recipe that goes in the permanent folder -- I also decreased the sugar to two cups; and along with my 4 big, very ripe bananas it seemed quite sweet hot out of the oven, but this morning the flavors have mellowed and the sweetness is just right. I love that it made two nice loaves; one bowl, excellent; and lends itself to tweaks so you can add the spices or flavors your family prefers. Somebody suggested doubling the vanilla and cinnamon, which I did, and using a little nutmeg and allspice. The allspice was a new one for me but it was really good. No problem with blandness at all -- do add more spices, the base recipe can take it -- I also used 1/2 cup whole Spelt flour, and the rest white Spelt flour and it was great for this recipe. Also used coconut oil instead of regular veg oil. It smelled heavenly while baking, though there was no coconut flavor once the bread was out and cooled. Thank you for submitting this one, Lisa!

Tweaks

  1. Add me to the others that LOVE this bread! I made it for hubby's people at work and they all loved it too. It was so easy and the bread was SO moist! I left out the pecans because of nut allergies. I also used 2 cups sugar instead of 3 and used 3/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 applesauce instead of 1 cup oil. Making this one a lot!
     
  2. My bread turned out great! I made a few changes to the recipe as well. I replaced 1cup of white sugar with 1cup of brown sugar and I decreased the amount of oil and added applesauce...lastly I added pecans as well as candied cranberries!! I topped it with brown sugar, butter and vanilla....it made a great recipe even greater, it was a perfect touch! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. This is so easy to make and delicious! I had 6 ripe bananas which equaled the two cups needed Substituted 1 cup of brown sugar for 1 cup of the white sugar. added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and increased to 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Thanks for the recipe :)
     
  4. I made a loaf in the bundt pan last night...it was great! Like others, I reduced sugar a bit, and substituted apple sauce for oil. Very moist and flavorful. Thanks for posting. :)
     
  5. Delicious and easy. I replaced 3/4 of the oil with applesauce with excellent results. I also added grated nutmeg to the mix and baked it in a large bunt pan. Thanks for posting!
